The UT Administration has opened the Togan-Dhanas link road to the public for a trial period in order to identify and correct any deficiencies. Besides that, the completion of the main road construction allows faster access to New Chandigarh and Kurali.
According to a UT official, the main road construction is complete. Only a small amount of work on the slip road remained. Moreover, the official stated that a blind spot near the police complex would be removed. He stated that work on the cycle track was already underway and that the road would be inaugurated next month.
The road cost approximately Rs 7.50 crore to build. In fact, it runs from Mohali’s Togan village to the city’s Dhanas village. Not to mention, the road will greatly benefit people traveling to New Chandigarh.
Connectivity To Mullanpur Cricket Stadium
After 1.2 km of new construction toward Chandigarh, the six-lane road now links to Dakshin Marg. In contrast, on the Punjab side, it will link to the Baddi-Kurali road. Furthermore, the road is strategically connected to Dakshin Marg and the Baddi-Kurali road, allowing residents and visitors easy access. Well, this will improve connectivity to Chandigarh and the upcoming Punjab Cricket Stadium (PCA) in New Chandigarh, which will host domestic and international matches soon. Likewise, the stadium will most likely serve as the home ground for the Punjab Kings during the upcoming IPL season.
